Once SNC began executing the mission, he did not compensate for the time spent on his order, and his sense of urgency was lacking. SNC had a low frequency of verbal and non-verbal communication with his team and thus had some difficulty maintaining awareness and control of his team member’s movements. Upon consolidation, SNC controlled his security well, assigning…
